Hi guys looking for some advice. New year new me have seen a job that i like the sound of! but cv needs updating not been done in a long time any advice you can give me would be appreciated! also tips for covering letter

Hi honey

Type CV into Google and see what comes up, I recall someone doing this @ work .

Any questions, just ask.

Keep it to 2 pages max. Keep your information short and sweet but to the point. Start with a brief blog at the top and then detail your work history. As someone who deals with this trust me, there is nothing worse than getting a 10 page dossier from someone! You have to ensure you get the right information in - go through the job description, highlight areas they are looking for and ensure that's the info you put in your cv. Also go through the person specification - ensure you match what they are looking for and again highlight this in you blog at the start.

Good luck

I did this recently and took lots of advice on it.

I was told that the covering letter had to really sell me and my qualities and suitability for the particular job.

The CV has to have most recent stuff first, no more than two pages, and rather than just saying ''I am good at sales'' say ''I am good at sales and in the last three years exceeded my target by ??per cent and brought in ??? revenue'' or something similar.

Apparently quantitative information, like above, makes a difference.

Good luck.

Thanks for your help and advice guys! x
